"States' rights" in the context of the Civil War refers to the political doctrine that individual states have the authority to govern themselves and make decisions independent of the federal government. This concept was a central argument for the Southern states, who believed they had the right to maintain their own laws, particularly regarding slavery. The conflict over states' rights versus federal authority contributed significantly to the tensions that led to the Civil War, as Southern states sought to preserve their autonomy and way of life against what they perceived as federal overreach. Ultimately, this clash highlighted the struggle between state sovereignty and national unity.
